Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of beverage preparation, and particularly relates to a beverage preparation machine and a beverage preparation method.
Background
The tea drinking and tea tasting are the traditional Chinese for a long time, and the frequent tea drinking can not only carry out the mental operations, but also prolong the life. The traditional tea drinking method is to directly put tea leaves into a teapot, and drink the tea leaves after brewing the tea leaves by hot water, but the inconvenience is that all processes need to be controlled manually, and the tea drinking method can be realized for people with more idle time or professional tea tasters. However, it is too time consuming for the office to drink tea, and tea tasters who are not professional cannot brew tea leaves to achieve the best drinking taste.
To facilitate automatic tea brewing, automatic tea brewing machines and beverage brewing boxes matched with the automatic tea brewing machines are arranged, for example: the invention patent with the patent application number of CN201310170813.0 discloses a beverage raw material cup, a reading device, a beverage preparation machine, a beverage preparation system and a beverage preparation method thereof.
However, the beverage preparation machine has the following problems:
firstly, the beverage brewing box has smaller volume of the beverage raw materials which can be stored, and the brewing volume of the brewing device matched with the beverage brewing box is suitable for the volume of the beverage raw materials in the beverage brewing box, so that the beverage preparation machine can only brew one cup of beverage or less volume of beverage at one time, and more staff at the office place often appear, and the situation that a plurality of staff simultaneously need the beverage can often occur, in this case, enough beverages can only be obtained through multiple times of brewing, and the process of multiple times of brewing is long in time consumption and delays the time of staff, thus being very inconvenient. That is, the above beverage preparation machine cannot meet the demands of offices for a large amount of beverages at the same time.
Meanwhile, in the beverage sales place, the arrival of customers is random, and operators often prepare a large barrel of tea by means of boiling tea in order to cope with the passenger flow coming from time to time. On one hand, the taste of tea water can be influenced after long-time storage; on the other hand, tea is often wasted due to randomness of clients.
In addition, the beverage preparation machine can only brew beverage raw materials according to a preset program in the process of preparing the beverage, so that the taste of the obtained beverage may still need to be improved.
